Pathetic fallacy

No..not the show...but the whole situation in the Bahamas...the weather was personifying the emotion-storminess, unpredictability, waves, crashing tides.

Everyone was awash in emotion.

First..the to be continued..Olivia did talk her way into getting the rose by saying "I come off as intimating " and the grammatically incorrect "I want to talk smart things" huh? That sounded dumb Olivia. But that was enough for for Ben so Olivia keeps the rose and he sends Jen out. She looked so great in hot pink...but you can tell he didn't feel that much for her. No walking her out of that ceremony. See ya Jen.

Bahamas.

1:1 Reel love..no not the Mary J Blige hit..it's Reel Love

Caila (sp?) gets the date. Ben arrives to pick her up. Was his lack of buttoning his shirt an oversight...is he wanting plunging neckline to Caila taks the plunge with him. What was with that fashion don't? Can Caila be more adorable? I loved the navy crop top. Fantastic. Btw, the look of the island for the women seems to be cut off jean shorts. Back to the date. This love is so reel that Caila needs that fishing rod strapped around her waist and needs Ben as her anchor so that she doesn't go overboard. They did take a plunge off the boat. (his shirt WAS foreshadowing!) But later at the dinner..it was the opposite...Caila seemed like she was going to jump ship and Ben needed to assure her that he could be her anchor. That was a pretty honest conversation..she basically said she didn't want to hurt his feelings..Fist bump Caila for honesty. She told him she wasn't sure but she has the feels for him..for reelz. hahaha. The navigated those choppy waters and she got the rose. yay!..and she also had a fantatic bathing suit on the date..Idon't think they sell fantastic bathing suits in Canada..or at least not in edmonton.


Group date.
Leah is having a melt down. She's crying in the hotel. She's crying on the group date. Leah is super ...rhymes with kissed and starts with a p that Ben didn't give her the one on one. She's crying to whomever will listen. I think she's getting Bachelor fever...it's a combination cabin fever, Stockholm syndrome, jet lag and anxiety sprinkled with self-doubt. I tell ya.. you need to have a rock solid mental health to last on this show.  Leah is upset she's on another group date and he's not getting to know her...they go on a boat ride and then feed the swimming pigs. Who's scared of pigs? I am. Reminds me of my wild boar encounter on a mountain in Croatia in 2014. I can't recall who said I like eat pigs..lol..yes...especially wrapped in sour cabbage leaves...mmmmm sarma...whoa..okay..back to the show. After the boat and swimming they go to a 'party' where Ben make out with most of them on a a couch...it's getting stormy out...Leah decides to diss Lauren B..that she's different and not here for Ben. Whah? Where did that come from? I blame it on the Bachelor fever...she's caving under the pressure. Amber gets the rose!

Leah decides to trash talk Lauren B again by sneaking to his hotel room. walking around the hotel in her bare feet. Ewww gross..She goes over to spend time and tell him that Laurne is right for him.Another colossally dumb move. Ben tells her he doesn't feel it with her!

She's so dishonoured..that not even random suitcase guy gets her luggage..she has to pick it up herself....

2:1
Emily and Olivia..who stays who goes.
This classic showdown pits the two against each other. Speaking of the pits...the weather is awful. So was Olivia's bathing suit/jean short combo. Emily looks like she was going to save a horse and ride a cowboy with the tassel-y top..that looked like serious stampede wear.  This date was also a recipe for worst hair ever...high speed winds and humidity...a waste of a hair washing/do. On this budget date..they zipped to deserted island..the only amenity was the alcohol brought on the boat...Olivia and Ben got to chat ..she professed her love. then Emily and Ben chat..and then Emily laid out her Magna Carta...it was like her personal charter of her dreams, expectations, direction. It was like a really bad political speech..but I think she sounded sincere. Ben fixes her hair and says he heard from her mom that she has a lot of love to give. Ben is adorbs.Ben takes her back to the communal beach blanket. He then takes the rose and walks with Olivia...Emily thinks her fate is sealed...But wait..he tells olivia he doesn't feel for her..and then leaves her standing awkwardly in the sand..while he goes over to Emily to give the rose to her.in Olivia's sight. Yes. Ben.. you coulda pulled a boat around and had her drive off..that was super mean..then Emily and Ben get on a boat and race away from crying Olivia.

Cocktail party
Kidding! Ben doesn't feel like cocktailing. He's drained. He feels beaten down in the Bahamas. As they say sometimes in capitalist societies..sometimes too much choice isn't always a good thing. I think Ben has decision fatigue.

Lauren gets the heave-ho. She leaves crying in the Cadillac..again ..for herself..not for Ben..saying how hard it is.she's ready..she can't find it..why's it so hard. Girl, you were in the Olympics of dating..i think the Bachelor is the toughest place to date.


The previews of the upcoming episodes look....so dramatic..
Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!
